The Taylor 812ce 12 fret embodies Taylor's V-Class bracing which, when combined with the Grand Concert body shape, yields a nice, balanced tone that is ideal for fingerstyle players or musicians who need a comfortable guitar. The 812ce 12 fret can easily fit in a live audio mix with its unique sonic footprint. V Class bracing greatly increases sustain and volume while improving intonation stability.

The guitar features the 12 fret grand concert body shape, a smaller, more comfortable body size and the 24 7/8" short scale neck reduces tension and creates an inviting playing experience that reduces hand fatigue. The 12 fret body size adds a little more warmth and projection, while evoking a more vintage appeal when combined with the slotted peghead. Solid rosewood back and sides produce a rich bass response, sparkling high end, with a slightly scooped midrange tone.

The guitar also features a solid Sitka spruce top, an amazingly versatile wood for many types of playing. Additional features include a full-gloss body, V-Class bracing, maple binding with a rosewood radius armrest, abalone element fretboard inlay, and award winning Expression System 2 electronics. The 812ce 12 fret V Class ships in a deluxe hard shell case.
